Nyr Dyv

The Nyr Dyv, also known as the Lake of Unknown Depths, is a fresh water lake centrally located in the Flanaess, and is also the largest known body of fresh water known to the people of that region of Oerik. Geographically, the Nyr Dyv is located north of the Free City of Greyhawk, which can easily be reached from the lake via the Selintan River.
The city of Dyvers, the Cairn Hills, and the Duchy Palatinate of Urnst also border the southern shores of the Nyr Dyv. To the west lies the Kingdom of Furyondy, to the east the County of Urnst, and to the north the Shield Lands and the Lands of Iuz.
The Nyr Dyv has three major navigable inlets: the Velverdyva to the west, and the Veng and Artonsamay to the north. Its two major navigable outlets include the Selintan to the south and Nesser to the southeast. Major ports on or near the Nyr Dyv include Dyvers, Greyhawk, Nyrstran, Leukish, High Mardreth, Radigast City, Alhaster, Admundfort, Critwall, and Willip.
The Nyr Dyv is rumored to hold the remains of an ancient civilization known as the Isles of Woe, which sank beneath the waves prior to the Great Migrations. Many explorers have fruitlessly searched the lake for evidence of this civilization. Though unusual pieces of jewelry, strange silver coins, and alien carvings of obsidian reputed to be remnants of the Isles of Woe are sometimes found in the markets of surrounding cities, most are regarded as forgeries.
